Publications

OneKirk grew out of the response by many ministers and elders within the Church of Scotland for a forum and organisation to facilitate their ministries, allow discussion, and  encourage one another.

Specifically, OneKirk came about following the publication of ‘Stepping Forward: An Appropriate Approach to Civil Partnerships.’ Many of the names of those who sponsored the production of that booklet are listed on the back pages of the booklet which is available for download.

Over time, more will be added to these pages. So please bookmark the OneKirk website and visit frequently for updates.
